Salvage 1 Complete Series (AI Enhanced and Upscaled)

Topics: Salvage 1, Savage one, Andy Griffith

Language: English

This is the complete series of Salvage 1 starring Andy Griffith. The entire series was run through an AI upscaler/enhancer in an attempt to help improve the quality from terrible to bad/okay, that is why the files are so large. These files are ripped from the only known sources of this tv show that exist, meaning that there isn't better quality rips that I am aware of. Until there is a professional release of this, this is probably the best we're ever going to get.

I do not own this TV show and simply wish to share what has been lost, with the world.

Thanks for the effort in the video.. Back in the day I used all those various video conversion routines and use DiVX. Shew thank de brothers from another planet I moved onto a simple H.265 converter! I'll be converting them to a non-divx H265 codec to bring the file sizes down to what a 480/576p video should be. DiVX mp4 was good in the day but problematic.

FYI sony has digitized the entire series and was made available on demand here in Canada for sometime on CTV Throwback (a advertised on demand service with sony and other classic TV show rights holders by one of our national broadcasters) so it's been made available, however it is no longer being offered sadly.

Golden Orbit and Hard Water, 2 two part eps of the series were released as a DVD on Demand service from sony and show up on ebay, but otherwise the series has seldom been seen.

In watching the series last year on throwback, season 1 is the best, season 2 was just a mess, but I believe had something to do with a US regulation requiring a child to be in the production if you air earlier in the evening for educational purposes. That was incorporated well, but watered down the writing substantially.

Subject: Salvage 1 - Thank You So Much!!

Wow, thank you so much for taking the time to get this all together!

I have been looking for Salvage 1 for quite some time! At one point in time they were up on YouTube, but I guess they got taken down.

The Enhancement add an interesting effect sometimes, I am downloading the MP4 in both Enhanced and regular to look at the differences.

Already loading onto my Plex server (which by the way finds all the metadata just fine!!!)

Going to Binge Watch this weekend thanks to you!

Thanks for the great effort but the pilot movie has a glitch two-thirds in and the audio is out of sync for the rest of the video. This happens about 51 minutes and 30 seconds into the film and does not correct itself for the remainder.

Thank you. I have been wanting to watch this again since it was originally on TV. I remember seeing maybe 2 or 3 episodes on my local station and it disappeared, but was reading it was still on the air elsewhere, which got me angry as a child.
Seen some of it on YouTube many years ago and it was terrible quality.
Yes, this is a huge folder. 32.5 GB for 19 files.
Took me 2 or 3 days to download the mp4's.
The picture quality ? Half the episodes are excellent, while other half of them look washed out, so if you improved them, they must have been really bad to start with.
